Now It's Time
It's a cruel cold world but shit yeah we live in it
Like you don't know your shoe size gotta see how you fit in it
Niggas claim they run the streets they gangsta and so militant
But they killing jits I swear to God I don't get this shit
Now let's go on a bigger stage and open up a map
Judged by melanin handclaps and daps
Can't go jogging in the streets just because a nigga black
It's like the color of my skin a big ass target on my back
In this cruel cold world they make a nigga feel so little
Gotta take my hood off to take a sip and eat some skittles
If you say all people equal stop talking I don't hear you
I don't care how cool you is boy you bet not say nigga
Go to church every week asked the Lord to help me prosper
All the hardships in your life the Lord could really help you solve em
They say black never crack so they wonder where the problem
Skipping school in the streets and they don't got no role model
It's okay lil nigga spread your wings and be a doctor
You could hold a degree you ain't gotta hold no choppa
Gone head and make history and be the next Obama
Gone and do it for your brothers and sisters and your momma
They want us to kneel down while they knees on our neck
Had to march a million miles just to earn our respect
For any little reason they a hang you by your neck
And they sit here today acting like we gone forget
They supposed to protect but the police do us worse
Have your body lying dead now you riding in a hearse
How you shoot first then ask questions tell me how that work
And how we gone comply if you got our face up in the dirt
We got smiles on our face but deep down we are hurt
Mistreated in the streets seeking help in a church
Pray for better days but it's still getting worse
Protesting for our rights but this time I hope it works
But this real shit
In a world full of hatred
Lord my life can you save it
From this modern day slave shit
I hate it uh
But this real shit
In a world full of hatred
Lord my life can you save it
From this modern day slave shit
I'm breaking for real
Like you don't know your shoe size gotta see how you fit in it
Niggas claim they run the streets they gangsta and so militant
But they killing jits I swear to God I don't get this shit
Now let's go on a bigger stage and open up a map
Judged by melanin handclaps and daps
Can't go jogging in the streets just because a nigga black
It's like the color of my skin a big ass target on my back
In this cruel cold world they make a nigga feel so little
Gotta take my hood off to take a sip and eat some skittles
If you say all people equal stop talking I don't hear you
I don't care how cool you is boy you bet not say nigga
Go to church every week asked the Lord to help me prosper
All the hardships in your life the Lord could really help you solve em

From this modern day slave shit
I hate it uh
But this real shit
In a world full of hatred
Lord my life can you save it
From this modern day slave shit
I'm breaking for real
